DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project is designed to meet the directives of the CoBRE phase III Transitional Award and will (1) further develop collaborative science and enhance training capabilities for faculty, postdoctoral and graduate trainees and undergraduate students and (2) support modern core facilities and continuously evolve them to provide modern technologies for collaborative research. We will continue existing, effective programs in our Center for Neuroscience for faculty mentoring, support for grant application and management, collaboration and interaction among all CN members, and a summer undergraduate research internship. We will support an institutional core facility director with broad responsibility for core facility oversight, financial management, efficiency and accessibility and advanced technology assessment. Five institutional cores will be supported, which have received support through earlier phases of the CoBRE grant: Transgenic Animal; Genomics; Advanced Imaging; Light and Electron Microscopic Imaging; Tissue Processing and Analysis. Each core is staffed with expert directors and three cores operate with doctorate level laboratory managers, ensuring high levels of expertise for experimental consultations with core users. The Advanced Imaging and Light and Electron Microscopic Imaging cores operate as technology discovery cores through collaborative involvement of laser, magnetic resonance and nuclear physicists who conduct research and assist with core management. Several core facilities are unique in our state, and support basic and translational research. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): Strong core facility infrastructure will provide direct support for a broad range of basic and translational research projects. These research topics include stroke and drug addiction, which are health disparities in West Virginia, and other pathologies such as congenital sensory disorders and neurodegenerative disease. Pilot projects are designed to forge new types of scientific collaborations to study these topics.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目旨在符合Cobre III期过渡奖的指令，并将（1）进一步发展协作科学并增强教师，博士后和研究生学员和本科生的培训能力，以及（2）支持现代核心设施，并继续为他们提供合作技术来提供现代技术。我们将继续在我们的神经科学中心进行现有的有效计划，以提供教师指导，支持赠款应用和管理，所有CN成员之间的协作和互动以及夏季的本科研究实习。我们将支持机构核心设施主管，负责核心设施的监督，财务管理，效率和可访问性以及高级技术评估。将支持五个机构核心，这些核心通过Cobre Grant的早期阶段得到了支持：转基因动物；基因组学；高级成像；光和电子微观成像；组织加工和分析。每个核心都有专家董事的配备人员，三个核心与博士学位的实验室经理一起运作，确保了与核心用户进行实验咨询的高水平专业知识。先进的成像，光和电子显微镜成像核心通过激光，磁共振和核物理学家的协作参与来作为技术发现核心，他们进行研究并协助核心管理。在我们的州，几个核心设施是独一无二的，并支持基础和翻译研究。 公共卫生相关性（由申请人提供）：强大的核心设施基础设施将为广泛的基本和转化研究项目提供直接支持。这些研究主题包括中风和药物成瘾，即西弗吉尼亚州的健康差异，以及其他病理，例如先天性感觉障碍和神经退行性疾病。试点项目旨在为研究这些主题开展新型的科学合作。
